Easter Mini Quilt Gifts & Goodies...

There is still not much sewing happening here, but I can at least share with you the lovelies of the Easter Mini Quilt Swap...

I have really come to love these little treasures, & this swap has had me make for a new-to-me blogging acquaintance, & receive from a longer-time blogging buddy.

I was chuffed when I saw I was to make a mini quilt for Cathy, who blogs at Cathy's Sewing Room... her sewing skills are amazing, & I always love to see her latest blocks... very clever girl she is...

'Hoppy Easter' from The Birdhouse has been in my pattern box for a while now, so I took my opportunity to make it for Cathy... isn't that bunny so cute?!

I also added in some little extras... a couple of candles... sadly the choccy's got travel-sick & did not arrive in good shape... (that will teach me for sending choccy in March!)

I loved sewing & stitching for you Cathy, glad you like it!

My postie is a quirky Irish guy, who says I am either doing a lot of online shopping or selling drugs, because I seem to be receiving little packages on a regular basis... my latest parcel was neither...Instead it was Easter goodies from my gorgeous blogging buddy Fiona (Bubz Rugz)...

Fiona has wonderful quilting skills, & I am so blessed to own a little of it now...

The M&Ms are hidden away from the hungry teens of the house!

Thank you so much Fiona for sending me a parcel of Easter goodness, I love it all!

I just realised that I have one last birthday parcel to share... my fq's from my blogging buddy Wendy at Sugarlane Designs... Wendy went to Melbourne just before my birthday & when she was there, she picked up these very yummy pieces & extras for me... I had been spying on the green one, so Wendy must have read my mind... Just perfect Wendy, thank you x

(sorry to be blogging it so late, Wendy)

Now my birthday fq's are a very pretty pile of purple & green joy, just sitting happily on the shelf in my Sewing Space... but they won't be there for long!

thank you so much for my GORGEOUS mini :) I love the colours you have chosen and I have been very strong - I will share the choccies with hubby tonight, when we sit down to watch a movie :) thank you once again, I love being part of Cheryll's swap groups!

Thank You for visiting my blog... I hope you have a good look around.
My creative interests include stitchery, English Paper Piecing, bag making, a bit of cross stitch, & quilts. I have way too many ideas in my head & not enough time to make them all!
